IN REVIEW

STANDINGS: Third in the Midwest Division (seven points behind Chicago); sixth in the Western Conference.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Six Admirals totaled three points last weekend, but only one of them finished with two goals. Mark Van Guilder had one to go with an assist Friday, and his goal Saturday gave his team a 3-2 lead 14:36 into the final period.

STANDOUT STAT

Milwaukee is averaging 5.4 goals in winning six of its last seven games.

COMING UP

At Hamilton (27-30-1-4), 6:30 p.m. Friday (AM-1250): Only three teams have fewer points than the Bulldogs, who are 2-5 in their last seven games. Milwaukee beat visiting Hamilton, 4-2, Feb. 5.

At Toronto (37-19-2-3), 2 p.m. Saturday (AM-1250): The Marlies lead the North Division by nine points and own a five-game point streak. Milwaukee is 1-0 against Toronto, winning, 3-2, at home Jan. 21.

At Utica (27-27-3-4), 4 p.m. Sunday (AM-1250): The Comets have won five of their last six games. Milwaukee's only game against Utica resulted in a 3-0 home loss Feb. 7.

At Rochester (30-22-6-4), 6 p.m. Wednesday (AM-1250): The Americans are tied with Milwaukee for sixth in the conference. The Admirals defeated visiting Rochester, 2-1, in overtime in the only meeting of the year.

AROUND THE RINK

SAW IT COMING: After another goal Saturday gave Calle Jarnkrok five in five games with Milwaukee, Admirals coach Dean Evason was asked if he continues to be more impressed with the center.

"I don't know if I can like him any more than I like him now," Evason said. "Because, boy, he's a hockey player. He just does everything well. He's just a pro. ... He is so crafty and so intelligent. He plays all three zones extremely well. We won't have him here too long."

On Thursday, Nashville recalled Jarnkrok and he is expected to make his NHL debut on Friday.

Jarnkrok, who also had two assists in Milwaukee, was part of Nashville's trade of David Legwand to Detroit on March 5.

MORE MOVEMENT: Goalie Magnus Hellberg has been sent to Cincinnati because he's been out of action for more than two months with an injury.

He was cleared to return earlier this week but hasn't played for Milwaukee since Jan. 16 and has just one win in his last five decisions. Overall, Hellberg is 5-13-1.

Milwaukee also signed defenseman Michael Young to an amateur try-out contract.

He recently wrapped up a four-year career at the University of Nebraska-Omaha where he finished with 13 goals and 55 assists in 148 games.

ROLLING AGAIN: Milwaukee is playing its best hockey since starting the season with an eight game point streak, and Van Guilder knows why.

"I think we did it with more defense early in the season," Van Guilder said. "I think now we're just finding ways to score goals. I think if we can put those two together, we'll be in pretty good shape."
